Samuel Goode

The Whitby Goodes: 32. Samuel Goode, the Barbadian, son of John and Frances (7) Mackarness Gootie, No. 26, p. 27, was born in the island of Barbados, 1655-8, came to Virginia with his parents, and died after 1734 ; married Martha Jones. Children: — 47, Samuel Goode, b. about 1700, d. 1797. 48, William, 49, Philip. 50, Mackarness. 51, Edward. 52, John, 53, Frances. 54, Martha, 55, Margaret.

Only Samuel and perhaps Frances were born in Barbados. The rest of John Goode's children were born at the family's Whitby plantation. John's first wife died shortly after they arrived in Virginia, after which he married Anne Bennett, Robert's mother.

Name: Samuel Edward GOODE Given Name: Samuel Edward Surname: GOODE Sex: M Birth: 1655 in Barbados Islands Death: 10 Dec 1734, age 79 in Henrico Co., VA.

Note: SAMUEL came to Virginia with his parents from Barbados Island. They were known as part of the "WHITBY GOODES".

Note:

(Research):SAMUEL lost his mother at an early age. The mischievous pranks by which the little West Indian made miserable his young step-mother (fresh from Holland) have been matters of tradition in the past, but their memory is now lost.

Rev. Dr. GOODE of Indiana wrote "Some amusing incidents were related of the ill-treatment of your Sam by his pseudo-mother and his rather savage revenges; finally, her influence over the father, in old age, was so great that she induced him to leave all his considerable estate to HER children.

Dr. Henry J. GOODE of Ohio wrote "My brother GAINES was well acquainted with the other branch of the GOODES. In his social talk with them, they would laugh at the advantage their mother, through her influence with the old gentlemen had gained for them by persuading him to give the whole of his estate to her children, which made them wealthy. These, Brother Gaines claimed as second cousins."

These traditions agree with the testimony of the Henrico Co. Va. records. We have seen that JOHN GOODE, although he had given land in 1698 to his son, SAMUEL GOODE, ignored SAMUEL in hir will, except to mention him in defining the boundaries of the tracts left to his younger brothers.

The Whitby Goodes: 32. Samuel Goode, the Barbadian, son of John and Frances (7) Mackarness Gootie, No. 26, p. 27, was born in the island of Barbados, 1655-8, came to Virginia with his parents, and died after 1734 ; married Martha Jones. Children: — 47, Samuel Goode, b. about 1700, d. 1797. 48, William, 49, Philip. 50, Mackarness. 51, Edward. 52, John, 53, Frances. 54, Martha, 55, Margaret.

Samuel Goode accompanied his parents from Barbados to Virginia, there being, at that time, and for more than a century later, a considerable fleet of small vessels plying to and fro between the Old Dominion and the islands in the Caribbean Sea, —vessels of twenty to fifty tons, usually carrying a number of cannon, and under the convoy, frequently, of larger vessels. He lost his mother at an early age. The mischievous pranks by which the little West Indian made miserable his young step-mother, fresh from Holland, have been matters of tradition in the past, but their memory is now lost. Rev. Dr. Goode of Indiana, writes: — "Some amusing incidents were related of the ill-treatment of young Sam. by his pseudo-mother, and his rather savage revenges ; finally, her influence over the father, in old age, was so great, that she induced him to leave all his (considerable) estate to her own children." Dr. Henry J. Goode, of Ohio, wrote :— "My brother Gaines was well acquainted with the other branch of the Goodes. In his social talk with them, they would laugh at the advantage their mother, through her influence with the old gentlemen had gained for them by persuading him to give the whole of his estate to her children, which made them wealthy. These, I think, Brother Gaines claimed as second cousins.'"

These traditions agree with the testimony of the Henrico county records. We have seen that John Goode, although he had given land in 1698 to his son Samuel, ignored him in his will, except to mention him in defining the boundaries of the tracts left to his younger brothers.

• This was an error; they were third cousins.—G. B. G.

=======

Samuel Goode, only son of John Goode by his first wife, Frances (Mackarness) Goode, was born in Barbadoes, West Indies, about 1656, was brought by his parents to Virginia, and here died about 1734. He is traditionally described as a boy of bright, mischievous, fearless and independent spirit, delighting in playing boyish pranks upon his step-mother. This caused her to influence her husband to exercise undue severity toward the lad, causing family bitterness, but Samuel grew up a reputable man and elevated himself in fortune to a level with his contemporaries. He married Martha Jones and had issue: Samuel (2), born about 1700, died 1797; William, Philip, Mackarness, of further mention; Edward, John, Frances, Martha, Margaret.

Samuel Good, 1694, 888 acres, Prince Edward, Virginia (Virginia County Records, Volume VII, Prince Edward County, Book A)

=====

Samuel Goode received April 20, 1694, a grant of 888 acres of land in Henrico County (Virginia Land Register, Book iii, p. 380). In 1734, when his will was made, he devised 1,900 acres to his several children, and gave to his wife and two daughters the remainder of his estate. It would appear from this, that it must have been this same Samuel who, in 1730, received an additional grant of 2,200 (Virginia Land Register, Book iii, p. 517) acres in Henrico County. Another grant was made on the same day, Sept. 28, to Samuel Good, probably the eldest son, No. 47. p. 36

The land grants to Samuel Goode were probably on the north side of the James. There is no way of distinguishing father and son, but it is certain that before 1731, nearly 4,000 acres of land in Henrico, had been granted to one, two or three persons named Samuel Goode. It is also certain, that at the beginning of the present century, large tracts of land were owned by members of the family to the southeast of Richmond, in the neighborhood of localities known as the "White Oak Swamp" and "Four Mile Creek," and including the hamlet now known as Derbytown. The battle-field of "Seven Pines" was upon or in the immediate neighborhood of this estate. p. 36

Land in this region is now of little agricultural value, what little fertility it once had having been exhausted by tobacco culture. In earlier days with slave labor, its owners doubtless acquired wealth. The old homestead of Benjamin Goode, grandson of Samuel Goode, and probably of his father John Goode, was pulled down in 1875. It was a large plantation house, in old Virginia style, and bore evidence of having been the home of enterprising and prosperous men. Traditions of the meets of the fox hunters and of the feasts they enjoyed here, still linger about the place. Its glories have long since departed, and those of the descendants who have lingered in the vicinity, lead quiet unambitious farmers' lives. Most of the members of the sixth and seventh generations, have emigrated or drifted into the cities. p. 36

"Samuel Goode--he of the second generation," wrote the Rev. Dr. Goode, "married Miss Jones. An incident told me by my mother, illustrates the rudeness of the times in which they lived. Indians were numerous and frequently annoyed them. Samuel Goode, our progenitor, was fearless and decided, keeping them in awe, and when occassion required, driving them from his home. Old Mr. Jones, his father-in-law, was timid and yielding, and this led them to trouble his family all the more. At length, in the absence of all but a grown son and daughter, an attack was made by several Indians, which culminated in a hand-to-hand fight in the house, between young Jones and an Indian man. Jones was wounded and fainting with a loss of blood. Still, he mastered the Indian, and seizing his long hair and winding it around a bedpost, he held him fast until his sister despatched him with a tomahawk. This done he said: 'I have done what I can for you,' and expired." p. 36

Samuel Goode who married Martha Jones daughter of Philip Jones of Henrico, resided at Goode’s Bridge adjacent Wintopock, an area of Chesterfield County along the Appomatox River. Goode’s Bridge was where Highway 360 crosses the Appomattox River which separates Amelia from Chesterfield County. The upper portion of his plantation included a couple thousand acres. His sons (Samuel, William, Mackerness, Philip, and John) moved after Samuel’s death in 1735, speculating in land at Bluestone Creek in Mecklenburg County, near the Charlotte County line. By the 1750s they moved across the Roanoke River to areas that later became Charlotte and Prince Edward Counties. (Source: Richard Bland of Richmond, Virginia 18 Sep 2001).

In 1730 Samuel Goode owned 1800 acres in Clover Hill Twp., Chesterfield County, Virginia, bounded on the west by the Appomattox River, the property of Francis Eppes on the east, and Richard Womack to the south (Source: Richard Bland of Richmond, Virginia, 9/18/01).

Samuel Goode could have been anywhere from a babe in arms, to a toddler, up to four or five years of age when arriving in Virginia (Kentucky Cousins, p. 41).

Samuel, who was born in Barbados, lived adjacent to Whitby, and all indicators suggest his plantation adjoined his father's to the south (Kentucky Cousins, p. 1).

Samuel was a mature man - upward of sixty years-with extensive holdings of his own by the time his father died (G.B. Goode, unpublished manuscript). In earlier years he had received one hundred acres of land from his father-probably the southern end of the plantation-and another hundred acres from his father-in-law. At the time of his own will he distributed more than 1,900 acres of land; so he was substantial in his own right. By 1731, nearly 4,000 acres of land in Henrico County (now Chesterfield) had been granted to Samuel Goode. Samuel I had a son, of course, Samuel II, who at this time was about 31 years of age, so it is likely that some of this land was his Kentucky Cousins, p. 42).

Samuel Goode, our progenitor, was fearless and decided, keeping them in awe, and when occasion required, driving them away from his home. Old Mr. Jones, his father-in-law, was timid and yielding, and this led them to trouble his family the more. At length, in the absence of all but a grown son and daughter, an attack was made by several Indians, which culminated in a hand-to-hand fight in the house, between young Jones and an Indian man. Jones was wounded and fainting with loss of blood. Still, he mastered the Indian by seizing his long hair and dispatched him with a tomahawk. This done, he said, "I have done what I can for you," and expired (Kentucky Cousins, p. 43).

Samuel gave his plantation at Winepeck to daughter Frances. Winepeck had 100 acres as described in the will and was situated near Oropax, Powhatan's final resting place. This must have been across the river because that is where Powhatan's headquarters were (Kentucky Cousins, p. 44).

In the same year [1712] Samuel Goode received a patent of four hundred acres on Winterpock Creek. (Henrlco Land Patents, Book 13, p. 506).
